Assignment #2

By Jhane Ormsby

12John

I chose Yellow and extension.

• During this powerpoint I am going to analysis two previous students who also studied media studies. As well as this, I am going to move on to the extension comparing the two blogs and giving constructive criticism. Hopefully allowing this criticism to take place, I will not make the same mistakes.

Vera Osei’s As media blog.• This simple blog is an

advantage for Vera as she started her blog from Monday 12th

September which is the start of the year

• Also she included her first impressions which looked like she took her time to express hoe she felt rather than a short blog

• She also broke her subject matters into bits rather than a paragraph which shows her consideration for clear points which is better for the examiner

Examiners Knowledge

• The simple listing of blogs throughout the year which is consistent is a way of which the examiner is impressed in and loves to see as it shows how you update your blog.

Vera Osei’s As media Blog.• Advantage-Vera successfully

embedded her videos onto her blog allowing her videos to be seen

• Dis advantage-Although Vera presented her video well she named her video Assignment2 and never thought to include a brief explanation of what is was about as the examiner may be slightly confused.

Vanessa Justino’s As media blog.• Vanessa uploads an

assessment of what her peers had written as well as her teacher. This is good as the blog includes her tracking her targets and also recording both good points and poor points.

Examiners Knowledge

• Just like Vera, Vanessa has kept her blog up to date throughout the year allowing the blog to positively build up.

• Looking at the Blog archive you can see that Vanessa herself kept her dates in order and there are no gaps in the dates which needed to be filled in.

Advantages and disadvantages.

• Advantage-her work was presented and structured well.

• Disadvantage-unfortunately she didn’t embed her evaluation properly

Comparisons.

• WWW-they both have an understanding of how to structure and upload work onto their blog successfully and keeping work up to date.

• EBI- Vera could of spend a little bit more time touching elements of her blog allowing minor mistakes eliminated, such as more brief descriptions.

• Vanessa- could spend a little more time double checking if all uploads were successful.
